I am probably becoming redundant but I promise just one more question---has anyone experienced left rib and shoulder blade pain with the reflux and gastritis? I had this pain before my gallbladder removal four weeks ago and still have it---alond with the bile diarrhea once or twice a day and bouts of nausea which last a few hours almost every day...tell me if I am being a bother---I know I am obsessing---but I have just not felt well in over two months now---If I knew it wasn't anything life threatening I could handle this better---also, my 12 pound weight loss adds to the fear---

The Nexium ended up bothering me as did the Dexilant. Once I came off of those two I always felt better. Doesn't mean that is it but some of the most common side effects of a PPI are back pain, aching, cough, headache, dizziness, abdominal pain, gas, nausea, vomiting, constipation, and diarrhea.
